VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

sauvagemathis I'm a 15 years old boy and I've been surprised by the movie. It's not really what I expected, but the movie wasn't too boring. The actors played well, for example the pain of the slave is almost real ! In my opinion the scene of the ship was impressive, the special effects was breathtaking, but the end of the fight is awkward. The soundtrack is also excellent ! For example the songs in native languages was exciting, particularly the song of the ship. The acting of Forest Whitaker saved the end of the movie, because in my opinion the end is flat, after the scene of the ship the storyline is stereotypical except some scenes. I thought some camera angles or camera movements make you sick, it's unpleasant. In conclusion the movie is fine, the actors and the settings are really admirable but the storyline was flat.

iloepatouillat Hello, my name is iloë, i am 16 years old. I am in second at the high school chevrollier. I saw this movie within the framework of court of English about the slavery. At first I did not like too much the subject but in finaly I was interested in it. "Roots" is a movie realised in 2016 by 'history' . directors is Will Packer and Marc Toberoff. It tells the story of kunta. kunta a young man living in Mandinka with his parents and uncle Silla surrounded by all the tribe is capture to be sold and served as a slave. We see each step of his journey until its depletion. The film is interesting because it shows the reality of the facts with all the violence. The story is very beautiful, we feel the emotions of Kunta, including his love for his father, his mother and Jinna the girl he loves. The actors are very talented. unfortunately i was disappointed since i hate movies that end badly and the end is really sad because Kunta is to finish and do not want to fight anymore for his convictions. We do not know if he is going to die or live because he closes eyes.

ewanlechat Hello my name is Ewan Lechat i'm 16 years old and i'm student in high school namde chevrollier I this film is awesome because the scenes is fine for example the scene on the boat where the slaves dance and sing and the rebellions against the master. I also find thas his movie was too short and did not have time to explain the story well. There are scenes taht are too long and that does not serve for the story as the scene where there is the kunta kinte praying before sleeping the scenes where the slaves sing are fabulous because it shows their origin,and is also lively.

Luce What a lost opportunity to illustrate African history accurately. Portrayal of Muslim women in "bikinis" is farcical, and the ignoring of indigenous religions in favour of the easier portrayal of Islam is a pity but unsurprising. I was hopeful, considering the controversy surrounding the first TV series, but sadly disappointed. School children the world over have been sold another misrepresentation of history.
